    This small island nature reserve off the coast of the northern capitol provides a more down-to-earth and natural beach experience, as the island is remote and doesn’t have any beach clubs.

    The seclusion will make it feel like a getaway after taking the 20-minute ferry ride, and the water is crystal clear.
